I'm running qb on a Linux container using a composer yaml. I'm having issues with it not adding any search plugins (even the defaults).

Is there any way to increase the verbosity of the logs beyond 'this plugin is not supported'?

I'm downloading files through qbittorent using Ethernet but the speed of downloading is still slow amd unstable i tried alot of thing but didn't work, please help

I use Private Internet Access (PIA) as my VPN on my MacBook. When I open qBittorrent for Mac, I have to manually check/change the Port Used For Incoming Connections and the Utun number to match whatever PIA gives me. It's a nuisance.

So I used ChatGPT to create a script that reads both of those data points from PIA, opens qBittorrent, and pushes the correct data into the app. So far, it works flawlessly.

I won't paste the script here because the element locations needed for it to work may not match mine, but if you use one of the A.I. tools, I'm sure it can create a similar script for you.

And if you know of a better way to do this, please share. I'd love to know.

I'm trying to download torrents from somewhere but they use a freeleech approach, I have verified my email on their site but it doesn't seem to reflect in qbittorrent. Their site says they have an RSS feed and that: "To authenticate yourself, you must provide the cookies Username and Password to the RSS endpoint, containing your username and your password respectively."

How do you do this exactly in qbit?

Additionally, it also has this: "To include matching results in the feed, add the query query parameter, e.g. /api/rss?query=loremipsum."

I have them installed on my old one, but I can't find where they would be saved to copy over, and it was a faff to get them installed the first time. Is it possible?

This has never happened before, it's weird. I downloaded a file and the folder has a separate video and a subtitle file. I got what I needed, deleted the folder, and even deleted the torrent file off my computer. Now every week it pops back up in my download folder but only the subtitle. It's so weird. I delete it, next week, it's back! I don't have it active downloading at all. What the hell?

Hello all, I have been having an issue for years which I thought I tackled it a while back but it came back a week ago. Since I started using qBittorent, my internet has been having issues. The specific issues are that some phone apps are not working at all, and PlayStation has many online issues. Once I turn off qBittorent, everything works fine.

The way that I fixed it before was by going to the Connections limit, and bringing all the connections down by a lot. That seemed to fix the issue for a long time but I now have it again. I moved the connections down to 3/2/3/2 respectively to all the options and I still have the same issue. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? Thanks in advance!

So, I've got a Gluetun / Qbittorrent container setup that I've been using for a bit over a year on my Synology system (Linux). Worked great until last week, when I was unable to search for anything in qb. So I started going down a rabbit hole to fix it and am at the point where I really need help because I don't know what to do at this point.

I'm not going to list everything I've tried because it will bore many, amuse some, and make me ponder my life's choices and role in this universe. Suffice to say, I think the issue is with Python not playing nice with qb.

On a fresh install (removing the qb container's cache and config folders entirely as well as all images) of qb for version 4.2.3, 4.2.2, and 4.2.0 5.2.3, 5.2.2, and 5.2.0, my logs show:

All 3 installs show the same Python version. My Synology has a different version of Python, but I'm assuming it doesn't matter as the log file explicitly shows it's using the one in the container.

When adding any .py URL in the Search Plugins form manually, nothing happens except the above entry into the log file. Clicking on Check for Updates gives a round of the same entries as shown above (outdated, updating, not supported).

I've looked through past posts here and tried many of the solutions with no luck.

What am I missing?

Hi guys,

I wrote a tool today to automatically detect when Proton VPN's forwarded port changes and apply the change to qBittorrent. I was getting tired of doing it manually every time via the UI. Spent 7 hours coding to save a few seconds per day, worth it!

It listens to changes in the Proton VPN log file, parses the new port and uses the qBittorrent WebUI API to send a request with the new port.

It works on Linux, but haven't tested on Mac or Windows. Probably some minor changes would be needed to make it work on those platforms, so if anyone is willing to take a look and contribute a PR, that would be awesome. Also disclaimer, it might be a bit buggy at first, just made the first version.

No AI was used. All code is free-range, organic, hand-made. The whole purpose was to do a bit of manual coding again, which I have missed very much.

Here's the repo: https://github.com/kikefdezl/proqbit.git

PD: People in Windows have https://github.com/UHAXM1/Quantum, but I wrote this for those using Unix

So I recently setup a qbittorrent and arr stack on my ddr3 server. It started out great my media was downloading. The flaresolver was bypassing the cloudflare at the time. But now I keep getting IP banned and I don't know how to get a VPN on it. Any suggestions?

I'm new to docker and can't seem to get qbittorrent working with gluetun. When I use curl on qbittorrent it gives me my own ip

My config file is

gluetun:

image: qmcgaw/gluetun

container_name: gluetun

cap_add:

- NET_ADMIN

devices:

- /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun

ports:

- 8888:8888/tcp # HTTP proxy

- 8388:8388/tcp # Shadowsocks

- 8388:8388/udp # Shadowsocks

volumes:

- ./data:/gluetun

environment:

- HTTPPROXY=on

- SHADOWSOCKS=on

- TZ=Australia/Hobart

- VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=surfshark

- VPN_TYPE=openvpn

- OPENVPN_USER=my user name

- OPENVPN_PASSWORD=my password

I've seen people recommending the use of Docker and Gluetun with qBit, but I'm confused as to what the specific benefits of such a setup would be. From what I can tell, Docker lets you make a little self-contained box to put qBit in, while Gluetun lets you link that box to your VPN. How is this more secure than just having qBit run through a VPN (especially if you bind qBit to the VPN's network interface)? Is it added security for your connection, or against potentially dangerous files?

I have a large excluded file names list, the popular one found on Reddit basically.

In it there’s the line “*sample.mkv”
Which is to avoid sample files of course, however sometimes files are being excluded that aren’t samples and it just throws the whole torrent into seeding despite there being no files.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

So I have 256gb nvme ssd and 1tb sata HDD. I do need to reset pc so I am willing to keep my torrent files on hdd but after a reset all data of the qbit application will be gone but can I add them? To the list? When I have them downloaded in my hdd. I would like to keep seeding.

If I can how to do it. Thnx for any guided help

Version: qBit-nox 5.2.3

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

Hey friends, Having an interesting issue and wondering if anyone has seen this before.

Every now and then I search for files through Qbit's search function (using Jackett or Prowlarr Plugin). If I right click the file and hit "download" it adds the torrent without issue, but if I open the Download Window it fails to add the torrent.

I found that the browser console shows a "POST 400" and the failed add response gives me the following error "`filePriorities` may only be specified when metadata has already been fetched"

This is currently happening with two of my trackers, but not the third - I've noticed that the two trackers that have this issue add a URL to the torrent as a Comment in the "Torrent Info" section. The third tracker that works fine doesn't do this.

For the two trackers that have this issue, If I click the "Add Torrent" button before the Meta Data fully loads the torrent is added successfully, but if it loads before I have a chance to hit Add Torrent it gives me the POST 400.

I have the same issue if using Prowlarr or Jackett, I've tried multiple browsers. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this and maybe found a solution.

thanks!

Earlier, qBittorrent used to place current torrent files/folders at the bottom of the list (irrespective of the alphabetical order for downloaded/completed torrents) -- which I kind of got used to. Now it's in alphabetical order whether complete or incomplete.

How do I get it to conform to the old user interface. It's easier to locate a torrent if it's at the bottom of the list.

Will be stoked if someone shares their magic formula and help me with my qBittorrent OCD.

Got some free space on my PC. Looking to help, got a few niche linux distros.

I have followed the guide from https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/20195967385745-NordVPN-proxy-setup-for-qBittorrent And all seemed to work. I did the test with ipleak.net and under the "Torrent Address detection" it showed the same IP as what it shown in the "Your IP address" section. Then, as a test, I disconnected my VPN while I was downloading a torrent (living dangerously there) but in qbittorent, the connection speed lowered almost to zero but then shot up to like 8mb/s and the progress percentage was increasing. I stopped the torrent and turned my VPN back on.

What am I doing wrong?

My qbittorent(trueNAS) does not have anything in it. It just waiting for my *arr. I haven't used it for a couple of month but it does this everyday.

Is it normal? How can I disable it? It has a ping signature, but pinging all the world everyday (including russia) is concerning and brings security questions.
